How to make a C# PowerPoint file?
The following steps demonstrate how to create a simple PowerPoint presentation in a C# application using Essential Presentation.
Step 1: Create a new console application. Name it as GettingStarted.
Step 2: Install Presentation assemblies with NuGet
In Visual Studio, select Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console and execute the below command.
install-package Syncfusion.Presentation.Base45 -source https://nuget.syncfusion.com/windows-forms |
Note:
Here the sample is created in .NET 4.5 framework. So we are installing the “Syncfusion.Presentation.Base45” NuGet package. The Presentation library is providing support from .NET 2.0 framework.
Step 3: Include the below code snippet in the main () method of “Program.cs” file
//Create a PowerPoint presentation instance IPresentation presentation = Presentation.Create(); //Add a blank slide to the PowerPoint instance ISlide slide = presentation.Slides.Add(SlideLayoutType.Blank); //Add a paragraph to the slide slide.Shapes.AddTextBox(400, 250, 200, 100).TextBody.AddParagraph("Hello World"); //Save the presentation presentation.Save("Sample.PPTX"); |
Step 4: Compile & execute the application. Now this application creates a simple PowerPoint document.
